It's fixed internally but wasn't merged in time for this latest patch, sorry 

I was able to reproduce internally and will report, thanks all!

All our switch settings are set with discussions with our SME. As well, I just had a look and the battery switch is set to off at cold start for me anyways. Do you have Sync to HOTAS checked and maybe it is set to on with your controls?

Not sure I get the joke? We put a lot of work into the BIT system and most of it works. There still are items to tune and add as stated in that news item.
It's an item we are well aware of, but a rather minor one that we will look at when time and resources allow. In the meantime, we have much more pressing matters for the Hornet.

This is a task we hope to start soon for both AAR and ALE-50. Thanks.

Yeah if you see anything like that send me a track so I can review, we have tuned failures a little, but it isnt released yet, should be next open beta I think.

Yes, this has been reported earlier, key bindings for stuff like the rudder and cyclic are sluggish.

No, we hope to finalize the Viper FM/FLCS next month, and after that, we'll do a complete review of the Hornet FM/FCS.

I talked to the team about how these circles are rendered, and because they are 2D engagement zones, they are a rough estimation for middle altitude of the gun, it can be longer and shorter depending on the altitude of the target it is aiming at. There is not a good way right now to show that in DCS. 

Ok, so it really isnt a bug. 
Orbit is based off a Orbit point, so when you use Push Task it goes back to the last known point, which is the last WP past (or the first WP in the route).
If you use Set Task, it wipes out the set route from the ME, and that spot in time becomes the initial point for the new route and is able to orbit there.
Hope that makes sense.
In my mind, and I haven't tried, would be to set some more WPs in the route so that the AI doesn't travel back so far. Not ideal or perfect, but should make for a little closer to what you want.

Response from the Team
 

This is still fixed internally, but hasnt been updated to release, another reminded sent. Thanks.

Already reported, thanks guys!

Just to follow up on this, the intent is not to allow changes to the load out of flares and chaff at all right now. This is based on real world info and feedback. Thanks.

Yes, as stated, sounds like you have Game Mode enabled, Game Mode is not working well... or too well depending on your point of view.

Make sure to check out Wags landing video as well, if you havent already 
 

From what I can see, there is something odd going on, I wonder, do you have the option selected in game to sync your controls with your HOTAS on mission start (under MISC in settings)? If you do, unselect and try again.
When I save the track as a mission, then reopen it, all works fine. Start there and see if we can figure it out.

Thanks for all your valuable feedback, this is now a thing, and has been added internally. You should see this option in an upcoming patch.

Will you accept and answer from a pretend pilot who asked a real pilot?
Its just stabilizing, there is more resistance as you increase pitch and the engine has to counter and catch up.

In the Mission Editor you can remove the FCR, I believe, and I may be wrong, the AUX tank removal is coming later.

You don't select waypoints like a fixed wing, You set a Direct To from the waypoint route. All in the TSD Route and Points videos.
 

Can you confirm you are not in Game Mode?
It looks like you may be, and as far as I know, Game mode is a bit of a mess right now.

You need to be on Open Beta, all our new modules land there first.

Trial will come later, I dont have a timeline at this point. Sorry.
